Looking for a break from the casinos and the strip? Check out the Botanical Cactus Garden at Ethel M Chocolates the next time you visit Las Vegas, Nevada.
It was lovely! Plenty of parking and not crowded when we visited.
They sell chocolate in the factory, but there is no fee to enter or to get into the cactus garden.
Happy Tuesday,
It was just confirmed that our classes at U of O will be online/remote. I figured this would be the case, but it is now official.
This doesn’t change any of my plans. I am still preparing to set up my second little home in Eugene next week (Sept. 1), and I just hope I can use the library and gym on campus, haha.
This basic long-sleeve black pocket tee from Amazon is perfect for fall. It’s comfortable and I like the fit. Wearing a size small, and it comes in a bunch of colors for $19. Love these leggings too, durable good quality, with a thicker fabric (wearing a sz small).
Trying not to let the news and all the pain in our country get me down today (and every day)!
Chat soon,

Happy Hump Day Everybody!
I love this simple all black outfit. It’s so easy to throw on and look pulled together. Wearing a small in this basic black crewneck tee from Amazon. The shirt description says loose-fit, but it’s not exactly (as you can see). It is a super comfortable, relaxed-fit, washes great, and I wear it all the time. It was $17, but it’s currently ON SALE for $12!
I just got approved for my apartment yesterday evening. My move-in date is Sept.1. Yay!
Well, to be precise, I will officially be living between Vancouver (my current residence) and my University of Oregon apartment. I am so excited! Thrilled to have more space, and the opportunity to create and design my own little environment to support maximum productivity.
I haven’t seen the apartment I will be moving into yet, but from the looks of the photos, it isn’t fancy. However, the price is unbeatable, and I look forward to trying to make it cute, and sharing the interior decorating process!
I literally remember just one year ago, I made the decision to apply to PhD programs for the 2020-2021 school year. One of my professors encouraged me to do it, even though I hadn’t been awarded my MA yet. “Don’t wait! Otherwise you will have to wait another entire year. The sooner the better. Do it now!” he said. I’m so happy I took his advice!
I just ate lunch and now I’m contemplating taking a nap (hehe).
I hope you’re having a great day.
TTYS,
HLJ

The simple outfits are always the best. I like this basic black vneck pocket tee from Amazon alot. Wearing a size small in the top, and in my favorite leggings.
Getting ready to cook dinner, watch a movie and get ready for an early-morning hike in Oregon.
Have a great evening,
HLJ
